Discover more about Det Gule Pakhus

Set in the bustling center of Frederikshavn, Det Gule Pakhus takes its name, 'The Yellow Warehouse', from the vivid hue of its distinctive historic building. Once used for storage in old port days, the venue has been thoughtfully transformed into a contemporary restaurant without losing its original architectural charm. The interior features exposed wooden beams and large windows overlooking the lively street—an echo of Frederikshavn’s longstanding relationship with the sea and commerce. The menu draws deeply from Danish culinary traditions, offering classic open sandwiches, seasonal salads, and an impressive array of North Jutland seafood. Local fish, especially herring, cod, and shrimp, are standout ingredients—prepared simply to let their flavors shine. Whether dining at midday amid the sunlit hustle or joining the evening crowd, guests experience a sense of conviviality that is central to Danish culture. The relaxed service and unfussy décor make it a popular destination for both family gatherings and solo travelers looking for a taste of everyday Denmark. Det Gule Pakhus also acts as a local meeting point due to its placement near the ferry terminal and the Scandic The Reef hotel. Easy to reach by foot from many city center sights, it welcomes visitors during lunch and evening hours throughout the week (note the afternoon closure between lunch and dinner service). Prices reflect the standard for mid-range dining in Denmark; expect to pay for quality local ingredients and attentive service. While not an undiscovered secret, the restaurant’s marriage of history, location, and Danish flavors offers a satisfying and memorable introduction to the rhythms of Frederikshavn life.
